    Sir Ian McKellen has received the Covid vaccine. β€œAnyone who has lived as long as I have is alive because they have had previous vaccinations... you’re having it not just for yourself but for people who you are close to – you’re doing your bit for society.”

    Look, all I’m saying is that Marcus Rashford goes out for a night in Belfast and days later there’s a return to devolved government in Northern Ireland.

    β€œOf course, it’s painless… it’s convenient, and getting in touch and meeting NHS staff and saying thank you to them for how hard they’ve been working is a bonus, I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone. I feel very lucky to have had the vaccine.”

    What really irritates me about these people is that in the end they will claim credit for saving the world when all they will have achieved is the introduction of airport style security at every museum and heritage site in the land.
